A HISTORY OF SURREY 



(Bramber). 1 " Later in the century, but before 1 243, he 

 was stated to hold two fees in Tadworth of Hubert 

 de Burgh, of the honour of Mowbray. 1 " In 1273 

 John and James, sons of William Haunsard, gave a 

 carucate of land, 2 acres of pasture, I z acres of wood, 

 and 201. rent in North Tadworth and Little Book- 

 ham to the Prior of St. Mary Overy. 136 The priory 

 continued to hold North Tadworth as a manor until 

 the Dissolution. In 1524 it was demised with the 

 rectory of Banstead to William Coltson and Richard 

 Moys and Elizabeth his wife for a term of forty 

 years. 137 After the Dissolution the manor was granted 

 by the Crown to Thomas Walsingham and Robert son 

 and heir of Richard Moys in fee ; 138 Walsingham 

 soon after released to Moys," 9 who died in 1596 

 leaving a son Philip. 140 John son of Philip died 

 without issue," 1 and Henry, another son, held in 

 1648.'" At Henry's death the manor passed to his 

 five sisters and co-heirs." 3 In 1659 Sir Henry Hatton 

 and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heir of Robert 

 Hazard and Ann, a sister of Henry Moys, 14 ' John 

 Ireland son of another sister, John Kyme son of 

 Mary, a third sister, and Paul Tracey son of Mar- 

 garet, a fourth, 146 conveyed four-fifths of the manor of 

 North Tadworth to Christopher Buckle of Burgh. 146 

 In 1663 Christopher Buckle acquired the remaining 

 fifth from John Bushell and Joyce his wife, 14 ' daugh- 

 ter and heir of Edward Lambert, who was the son of 

 John Lambert and Catherine, the fifth sister of Henry 

 Moys. 149 Since that time North Tadworth has been 

 held with the manor of Burgh (q.v.). 



In 1086 Ralph held Tadeorde, probably SO UTH 

 TADWORTH, of Odo of Bayeux for \\ hides; 

 before the Conquest two brothers had held it of King 

 Edward for 5 hides. 1 " Its value had decreased from 

 4O/. to 3O/., 150 and it was still taxed for the latter 

 sum in 1291 when the Prior of Merton held the 

 land. 161 It is not evident how the prior acquired it, 

 but possibly it had been granted him by the lord of 

 Banstead, as the prior held the land of that manor. 1 " 

 South Tadworth was certainly held by Merton before 

 1274, as in that year the Prior of Southwark brought 

 a plea of novel disseisin against the Prior of Merton 

 for common pasture in Banstead, North Tadworth, 

 and South Tadworth. 15 * In 1428 the Prior of 

 Merton held a quarter of a knight's fee here. 144 The 

 manor remained in possession of the priory until the 

 Dissolution, 166 after which, on coming to the Crown, 



it was annexed to the honour of Hampton Court. 168 

 In 1553 Edward VI made a grant in fee to Edward 

 Harendon or Herrenden. 16 ' The manor was settled 

 in 1569 on his son Henry, who married Mary 

 Digby. 168 In 1587, after the death of Millicent 

 Herendon, widow, Edmund was stated to be her son 

 and heir. 169 He, with Henry Herendon, senior and 

 junior, levied a fine of the manor in the same year. 160 

 The deed was possibly a surrender of Henry's claim, 

 as Edmund still held in l6i8. 161 In 1620 John 

 Herendon conveyed to Thomas Hawes. 161 From the 

 latter the manor passed in 1631-2 to Thomas 

 Grymes or Crymes, 163 who died seised in i6^. lu 

 His son, Sir George Grymes, kt., inherited, 166 but 

 before 1650 the manor had come into the possession 

 of Robert Wilson and Katherine his wife. 166 The 

 Wilsons conveyed in 1694 to Leonard Wessel,' 67 

 who still held in 1704. Leonard Wessel, about 

 1700, built the house there known as Tadworth 

 Court. 168 



By 1 724 the manor was the property of John Fleet- 

 wood, who died in 1725 having devised to his sons 

 John and Gerard Dutton Fleetwood in tail male 

 with reversion to his daughter Anne Maria wife of 

 William Bury, or his sons' daughters. 169 The 

 second John Fleetwood died in 1752 leaving an 

 only child Emilia, wife of Giuseppe Calenda. The 

 Calendas and the Burys in 1755-6 conveyed 

 their interest to Gerard Dutton Fleetwood, who 

 was unmarried, 170 and he in 1756 procured an Act of 

 Parliament enabling him to sell the manor to William 

 Mabbot. 1 " Mabbot died at Tadworth Court in 

 1 764,"' having devised his property to his wife, Lady 

 Rhoda Delves, with reversion to her daughter Rhoda 

 wife of Philip Carteret Webb. 173 The daughter after- 

 wards married Edward Beaver," 4 and in 1773, after 

 the mother's death, they, with William Wright and 

 Charles Scrase, executors, conveyed the manor to Sir 

 Henry Harpur. 176 It passed soon after to Robert 

 Hudson, who held in l8o8, 176 his son and his son's 

 widow holding after his death ; Mrs. Hudson was 

 lady of the manor in i84i," 7 and seems to have held 

 until after 1860. Before the end of the igth century 

 Sir Charles Russell, afterwards Lord Russell of Killowen, 

 bought the manor, which is now in the possession 

 of his widow, Lady Russell of Killowen. The house 

 which Leonard Wessel built is now owned by 

 Mr. C. D. Morton.

 Aubrey and G.E.C. Baronage Paul Tracey 

 son of Paul Tracey, who married Margaret 

 Moys, died in 1618. The Paul Tracey 



mentioned in 1659 may have been the 

 husband of Margaret. It is possible that 

 another son, born after the death of the 

 first, was also called Paul, as the Close 

 Roll of 1668 distinctly says that the Paul 

 Tracey pf 1659 was Margaret's son.
